What began as a local economic development discussion has strategically evolved into the Workforce Partnership of Shelby County. Private industry founded and funded, local business leaders lead the efforts to strengthen the emerging workforce and sustain Shelby County as a leading employer in the region!
Industry and education partners are aligning workforce training and skills development programs that prepare students for our workforce needs. In addition, a strong focus is placed on awareness and exploration of the incredible career opportunities here to attract and retain local talent.
What’s Happening at Workforce Partnership?
Workforce Partnership and the Shelby County United Way have partnered together to create a new Career Coach program available to high school seniors whose post-graduation plans are to directly enter the workforce. This program will provide students individualized support that focuses on workforce readiness while identifying local jobs that align with their personal goals and skills/aptitudes. This program aims to retain local talent and establish them in a direction that can lead to lifelong success. Learn more about the Career Coach!
